Creature Keeper combines Pokémon and Zelda and looks good while doing it, Book Of Travels from the Shelter team invents the Tiny Multiplayer Online genre, and Vertebreaker, from a Sonic Mania developer, puts a new spin on a classic formula. Then there's a comeback for picture puzzle collection Say What You See and social deception spaceship panic Enemy On Board, all of whose Kickstarter campaigns end this month.
Creature Keeper (ends: Nov 13)
For PC, other platforms to be announced
Team up with wild creatures, as in Pokémon, then fight alongside them like in an exceptionally manic Legend Of Zelda (or a cuter Diablo). Then there's a pocket garden for growing things that's a bit like Tetris, a scratch art bestiary and a cookery section to keep your animals in good form. Its developer returns to Kickstarter after helping make 2018's Tangledeep. US$15 (RM62) for the game, expected March 2021; free demo from fervir.itch.io/creature-keeper.
